Surgeon Testimonial Vadim Gritsus, M.D. My "joke" about Dr. Gritsus is that he really has no business being a surgeon because he has none of that "doctor" ego. Rarely have I been blessed to be treated by a doctor (and staff) who has such empathy and patience for their patients. The best thing about Dr. Gritsus is that he listens; he never made me feel that any question was wrong, or had previously been discussed and needn't be asked again. I felt that I was in good hands, I always felt safe, I always fetl that I was under the care of someone technically competent. I chose Dr. Gritsus because he was on my plan. Friends who had had the procedure urged me to go to another doctor, but there was no way that I could do this without my insurance covering the costs. However, I decided to STAY with Dr. Gritsus after attending his information session and going for an evaluation visit. Some people prefer their medical professionals to be just that, strictly professional in the highest degree. I needed to go through this life changing procedure with someone who had that professional capability, a comparable staff, but also with someone who understood what this meant to his patients. I feel I got this in going with Dr. Gritsus. The next day.... I wanted to add something about this office. Everyone in the staff is welcoming and accommodating - without Kathy's persistence I don't know long it would have taken the insurance company to come through. And the rest of the desk staff (I'm lousy with names) equally are so nice. Finally, a "shout out" to Dean, he has been so conscious and caring through the last few meetings before the surgery and now with my aftercare. C Schoenbrun Latest Surgery Support Comments

05/13 - Happy Mother's day to me!
Hopefully I will continue to be able to be a good mom, with better health on my side. Got up, ate breakfast, took a walk (longer, less exhausted - yeah!) and came back to a protein shake. I'm convinced that I can't take these anymore - I was so nauseous after this one. Time to find alternatives. Unfortunately the CIB doesn't not have enough protein, so I am looking at the IDS whey liquid protein "bullets"; I have concern about the kashrut, but as long as there is nothing treif in them, they could be ok, don't know, waiting for an answer from IDS. It concerns me that if I don't get enough protein, the body won't respond by losing weight properly, but I can't take much more of these shakes. All alone for mom's day, but that's par for the course on a Sunday - but I'm going to prepare some food and soups for myself today to make it easier. cyndi 0 Comment(s)
